Which Goliath(s) Will You Destroy in 2014?

Happy New Year to you!  I am using the word "Happy" on purpose because this year we are defeating our enemies.  Some of these specific enemies have harassed, humiliated, frustrated and even embarrassed us for many years.  NO MORE! Can you say NO MORE?  This is the year where we will focus our attention on taking down every Goliath (negative and seemingly impossible situations) that have been in our way!

Are you ready?  I can already hear them falling dead from the fatal wounds of the sword of the Spirit which is the omnipotent Word of God. This year, we refuse to be overwhelmed by what we see.  We are walking in the King's ability with divine authority to evict and destroy every enemy of our vision, our families, our health and our lives.  Take a deep breath; we are going to take down one Goliath at a time.

It 's our fight, so we will choose our opponent.  We are going to fight, win, rejoice, rest and then start the next fight.  For Kingdom Gladiators, the "good fight of faith" is the KINGDOM SPORT. II Corinthians 10:4 says "For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but are mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds."

Our mindset is changing from "Woe is Me" to "I love to Fight because I love to Win".  Jesus has already given us the victory.  For the next few moments, let's meditate on what I would call a "Winner's Principle":

You have already been given the ability by God to change your outcome(s).

As a son of God, you are an overcomer.  I John 5:4 says "For whatsoever is born of God overcomes the world: and this is the victory that overcomes the world, even our faith. The thought processes of your enemy are far inferior to the wisdom of God which is available to you as you have need.of it. The first step in turning things around is to acknowledge that you now  have the wisdom, the resources and God's ability to change previous outcomes.  Where you have lacked the boldness and confidence to stand in your authority in prior years, let courage and the faith of God arise in your heart right now!

Take whatever time you need to read, study and meditate on the Word of God in the area where you have been weak.  Make sure that you implement the directives that you receive from the Holy Spirit regarding your victory.  It would be good for you to also gain as much natural wisdom in these areas as possible by studying successful strategies from people who have succeeded in the arenas you are planning to engage in.

What have you tolerated that has hindered or discouraged you?  Have you noticed cyclical attacks? Identify specific situation(s) which you will address this year.  Which one are you going to defeat first? Make your decision and then inquire like David did "Who is this uncircumcised Philistine who has come to defy the army of the Living God?" I will no longer tolerate what I have tolerated from the devil in the past! This is my new day. God is restoring and strengthening me.  I am being anointed with fresh oil to open prison doors in my own life first and then in the lives of others.

You are going to need to focus on your victory more than you ever have before.  As you make up your mind that your time has come, you will experience victory after victory!  You are not alone.  I am encouraging every reader to begin to intercede for each other.  Go ahead Kingdom Gladiators, TAKE THEM DOWN! As a son of God, you have already WON!
